Awesome News... Crafters Cafe DT! #162

Hello!
So today I have some exciting news
I am able to share with you my first project for the 

Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog!

It has been a long time since I applied for a DT position and I am thrilled to be working with a great team!

I look forward to the coming months for the challenges that we have!

The challenge this time was to do a Christmas Birthday or use Christmas Colours... I chose Christmas colours - I feel that this was perfect for the image that I have chosen

The image I am working with 

SNOWY CABIN
is from 

QKR STAMPEDE

I just love it! and perfect for this challenge! 

I have coloured my image with pro-markers

and have tried get the colours through the trees to match the shading in the DSP that I have used  

I have added glitter through the image for added sparkle and I think that this looks great as snow!

The words are Tim Holtz - my go to accessory at the minute, I love the effect these create! The string is not craft string -just an ordinary ball of string - been meaning to try this for weeks! 

I have inked the edges of the card blank that is olive green 

and the matt panel is chocolate brown

The DSP is also olive green, having the same shades in it

I hope you like my first project for 

Crafters Cafe and I hope that you will join us for the challenge!

Thank you so much for visiting 

Happy Crafting

A Friends birthday quick card...

Hello!

So here is a card that I created for my friends birthday...

I have used one of the stamped images I was sent again! Which I love...

They look so effective 

I have coloured the image with my pro markers and kept to pastel colours... I have used a Stampin Up! sentiment  

Here is the image close up! 

The matt layer card and DSP is also Stampin Up! and it co-ordiantes well with my Pros 

As this was a rushed card I have kept it very simple! 

I hope you liked it and thanks for stopping by! 

Thank you to my followers I know I am rubbish! and will post more...

Teacher Gifts! The end of a great year...

Hello! Sorry for the lack of posts 

I know I say this often I need to make more time for crafting! 

I cannot believe that I have never posted these!

How rubbish am I!

I made these as the teacher gifts for my boys to give to their teachers and their teaching assistants!

This is the gift that I made for my youngest sons teacher
I covered this journal because she was going to work in China for a year and I thought this would be perfect for her to take with her and it wouldn't take up too much room! 

This is the notebook that I covered for my other sons teacher
I love the image I was sent the stamped images a couple of years ago in a swap and they are great 

I have coloured the images with pro-markers and shaded areas of the skirt 

Keeping the decoration simple 

With some lace and pearls 

The word sentiments are time holtz - and the main sentiment is Stampin Up!

I love the fact they have no faces - so simple

I have used darker colours in this gift and I love the effect 

I hope you like them and thank you for looking
Happy Crafting

njc challenge October #37

Hello

So Apologies for this late post 

I have not realised that it had not posted!

Here is my make for the NJC Challenge Blog 

We had no sponsor this month so we had free reign on what we could create 

So here is what I made

using a visible image stamp!

The all seeing eye

I love this 

I have used Halloween colours with it being October 

To keep it seasonal - orange and black 

As you can see on the image I have spritzed it with glitter 

I lovethis effect 

I used the one from Crafters Companion 

So simple to use!

The tiny words are Tim Holtz

I love using these at the minute and I think they are perfect for any creation!

I hope you like my card and I look forward to seeing your makes

Thank you for taking the time to visit!

NJC Challenge Blog

As normal we are back to anything goes!

So for this months challenge I created a tag using the image from Bloobel

Cup of Tea

I have coloured the image using pro-markers 

(what else! lol )

and used pastel shades

I have teamed this with with black and cream 

So that it really stands out

I have used matt layers of plain card - so not to take away fom the subtle colours used in the image
